SRT-4 Front Brake Pads Replacement
Replacing the front brake pads on your SRT-4 is not a very difficult task that can be accomplished with a few simple hand tools.
- 13mm socket or wrench
- Large C-Clamp
Start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack-stands. Then remove the front wheels to gain access to the calipers and pads.
Use a 13mm wrench or socket to remove the to bolts holding the caliper. These two bolts are located behind the caliper closer to the strut and spring, top and bottom of caliper.
You can reach access to the brake pads by removing the top cover to the caliper. Slide the old pads out (make note of their position) and ensure the retaining clips remain in place (top & bottom).
This is when your handy C-Clamp comes in. You will need to compress that brake piston inside the caliper in order to fit the new pads. Remove the brake fluid cap to the reservoir located under the hood. Put one of the old pads back into the caliper and pushing against the piston so that you can push the piston in. Now put your C-Clamp on the old brake pad and back of the caliper and compress. Compress slowly and make sure no fluid leaks out through the top (reservoir).
Install the new brakes pads in the same way the old pads were removed. Slide the caliper in and secure with the 13mm bolts. Put the cover back on the brake fluid reservoir, install wheels, and lower vehicle. Start the car and pump the brakes a few times until they get stiff then carefully test drive the new pads.
